You must tell us a lot more about your setup than above if you expect
help.

Does the linux box have more than one NIC?
Are you DNATting?  If not, HOW is the DSL shared?
What makes you say that the wonder script is interfering with internal
traffic?

In a "normal" setup, the linux box will have 2 NICs, one connected to a
switch/hub serving the internal network and the other directly connected
to the DSL.  Wonder then is configured to shape on the internet
(external) interface (only).  That means it does not touch anything on
the internal NW.

You might be able to set up a modified Wonder such that the default /
bulk does 100Mbit (assuming your internal NW is 100) by setting RATE CEIL = 100Mb and then shape everything where the IP matches your DSL IP
so that internet stuff never gets into the bulk queue.  Sort of
"reverse" logic, but that is the way I dealt with an FTP server.  In the
absence of a firewall mark in FTP packets, there is no good way to
identify them, so instead handle the stuff you CAN identify and let the
rest go into bulk.
